33 comments

  1. Probably around €500, maybe even a bit more

    Food – ca €250 (Including delivery a couple times)

    Bus pass – €50

    Alcohol – €100 to €150 (Varies from month to month, I’m probably below average)

    Monthly subscriptions – €10 (My parents cover my phone bill luckily)

    Events and other activities – €50

    This does not include items or things I buy, like clothes. Which I buy irregularly.

  2. I used to spend €150 on food. €110 on school. 20 health insurance. 100 on drugs and alcohol. 25 on phone with Internet.

  5. Turin, Italy, big city but has like 150k students because one of the best universities for engineering in Europe is there.

    I spend around 250€-300€ a month in food and consumables toiletries, detergents stuff like that. On top of that add maybe 100€ for going out, eating out, etc.

    Add to that housing, 500€/month all included.

    Also from 50-100€ on amazon stuff I dont need

    10€ for mobile provider.

    Usually was around 1.1k€/month with housing, but I cant place the other 100 or so euros.

  6. On school depends on how much money you have. I pay like 11 euros per month basically, housing usually costs around 200/300 euros per month (can go as low as 100). If you have a scholarship you can have free housing at the residence.

    These are the info I know, not living on my own

    City is Turin, university is the politechnic of Turin

  7. Around 300€ on food,

    Around 10€ on transport when I’m at uni and like 50€ on gas when I’m at home,

    Around 300€ on clothes and other beauty/home products.

    Around 15€ on phone plan,

    And if I include housing, that’s another 700€.

  8. I live in the US and most things cost the same or lower than Sweden with the exception of tuition. I do think it’s worth the investment if you are in STEM, but I have friends paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to study “communication” or “marketing” just to get the “American college experience”. I do admit that it’s pretty fun. College sport, parties, amazing internship opportunities, labs with crazy equipments, and many extracurricular activities.

  9. I use

    Food – 70 €

    Transport – 83 €

    Insurance – 11 €

    Internet – 37 €

    Electricity – 40 €

  10. About 500 euros maybe.

    Roughly 30 euro for gym membership. 150-200 in food and the rest in alcohol.

  11. 250€ on food

    18€ on my metro/bus pass

    12€ on phone

    100€ on other things (books, clothes, makeup etc.)

    35€ on my gym subscription

  12. 150 food, 110 health insurance, 40 internet+mobile, an average 60 for university fees, 2 for sports.

  13. About 150€ for food, maybe 20€ for transports (I go to work / school either by walking or bike), 30€ for phone and internet, and 200€ for student loan (that I should complete soon so it will probably get replaced by car insurance).

    With housing I add 620€ for rents and 55€ for electricity. At the end of the month I have around 300€ for myself that I’ll save, spend on exceptional stuff like gifts, and so on.

    (I’m a student in apprenticeship)

  14. Average is probably less than a 1000€ more than 600€. Depends on how much I have larger one time purchases in a month.

  15. About £160 on food, £130 on alcohol and going out, £80 on little gifts and treats for myself, £60 on transport.

    So about £430 overall.

  16. I live alone and I pay +-220 a month on groceries, 130 on car insurance, 10 on spotify, 460 on rent, snacks/drinks 150 eur, 50 eur on car fuel and 360 a year for train and 40 a year for bus. I live in Belgium. So that’s about 1020 a month and 400 eur a year for public transport. But I can save money on snacks/drinks and I’m going to do that haha

  19. 250 euros for food, 150 if I’m frugal. 60 euros for heating and electricity, 38 for at home internet, 12 for YouTube premium, 15 for mobile service, 16 euros for municipal taxes, 4 euros for routine care for my cat, 105 Euros for healthcare, 8 euros for other insuranced. If 200-500 a month discretionary spending which includes upkeep and maintenance of the essential machinary in my house.

    For housing: 250 euros mortgage and 100 euros for the HOA.

    Edit: I see a lot of alcohol listings over 100 euros. I don’t drink alcohol so for me that’d be 0 lol. Looks like drinking is a very expensive hobby.

  20. Well, during my bachelor degree I was spending maybe a 100 euros a month of food, didn’t pay for internet and paid 5 euros for phone, 25 euros for public transport. No fun money but no university fees.

    Master degree ? Around 120 for food, 5 euros for phone, 25 euros for public transport, very little fun money, I bought books once in a while, no university fees.

    PhD ? I think i’m around 200 for food, 29 for phone + internet, I had to pay nearly 500 euros for tuition fees this year, 5 euros for public transportations. I’d say I must spent like 50-75 euros or so in fun money as in video games or restaurants or events. I put the rest in a checking account.

    It’s not that I was incredibly frugal and cheep during my bachelor and master, I was just very very poor and I started only to get money during my PhD.

  21. I pay between 120-150€ on food and about 100€ on leisure activities. So about 250€ a month, with housing coming in at exactly 260€

  22. Usually between 100 – 150€ a month. I live in student dormitory that has a student canteen, so I save a lot of money on food.

  23. When I was at uni, I pissed my student loans up the wall. I worked part time so didn’t take loans when I could have. Instead, I waited, got 5k student loan and 6 wks later it was gone. Kinda regret it now but it was 20yrs ago, so fuck it.

    Edit: I went to uni in London, so it was a bit expensive, even with having subsidised student bars.

  24. Prague, Czechia (expenses per month)

    Housing (including WiFi and utilities) – 200 EUR for university dorms or 300-400 EUR (room in a shared apartment)

    Food + toiletries – 200 EUR (including a few deliveries)

    Public transport – 6 EUR (super reliable and clean, enormous network, includes subway, tram, bus and ferry, it’s really a bargain)

    Health insurance – paid by the government

    Phone bill + 10 GB of mobile data – 20 EUR

    Tuition – free

    I personally don’t spend any money on entertainment or partying 🙂 Then you also have to account for clothes, in H&M most trousers or sweaters are 20-40 EUR per piece, t-shirt 10-20 EUR per piece.

  25. In austria I spend for 385€ for housing, 300€ for savings and around 300 for living (food, internet, leisure)

  26. – €420 in rent(everything included).
    – Roughly €300 on food.
    – Roughly €200 on snus.
    – €150 on bills(miscellaneous subscriptions).

    €0 for doctors/meds

  29. Like 20 Bucks? Went back to my parents place when the whole online study stuff started here with corona (best decision I could have made) and except for things, cloths, games, whatever other irregular stuff, I don’t need to pay anything

    Tuition is 200 a semester tho but I get public transport included for when I still need to go to campus sometimes, I guess that raises the monthly average a bit

  31. 280 is monthly but you have to buy other stuff aswell lets add a 50.
    Food for a month 150-200.
    Internet/phone 80ish
    But with housing another 400 ( i live together so i divided rent by2)
    (only rent no sewage tax heat/electricity) that would add another 100).

  32. Uhh so take these numbers with a grain of salt but give or take

    500 – rent
    20 – other Bill’s
    150 – food
    200 – alcohol

    I do get a lot of food for free tho, so that’s probably low

  33. I used to pay around 200€/month without housing. With housing it was more 500€/month.
    I’m in France btw (not sure I updated my flair)
